      I disagree on whether there is such an implication, but content to leave it there.

      Top of thread: "REPLAPSE". Gets ~4000 retweets. Thirteen tweets later... "To be clear." "In mice." WebMD. 15 Retweets. Copy-paste from researcher—and even that's cherry-picked—not contextualization of findings or independent evaluation. No way to present a study or be informed. pic.twitter.com/Ch1RsObcrY

      First tweet in thread, with 4000+ retweets and quote tweets. "Good and bad news." (What bad news? It was all-around excellent news). Finally, 22nd tweet with a clarification. Only 37 retweets and quote tweets. Don't do this people. Also don't get your information this way. pic.twitter.com/9jM4mOveYs

      The worst. Can take any preprint and turn it into a 🚨🚨🚨 20-tweet thread about how we’re all doomed, next thing you know your mother is texting you to ask if it’s true

      I normally don't like highlighting individuals (looks like petty fighting people can't figure out) but Twitter *recommends* him as someone to follow for COVID-19 as a topic, and I'm constantly getting questions about his claims which are a dangerous mix of ok not wrong and NOPE.

      Agree, his reach is huge, it’s bizarre, it’s harmful, and it’s literally been going on since the beginning of the pandemic.

      He’s a nutrition expert. Certainly not credentialed to be talking about neutralizing antibodies or vaccine efficacy

      It's worse, though. The ZombieCOVIDbRAin thread one isn't even @justsaysinmice type exaggeration. It's K18/hACE2 mice, and if I can understand why that doesn't directly translate to other mice, let alone humans, he can certainly understand it. But exactly, how can people tell?

          Yeah, the problem runs pretty deep. He once got on a soapbox to proclaim we all needed N95-quality underwear to prevent transmission via flatulence. I assume it’s all about whatever gets the most hype for him.

          I honestly think that if several epi/PH/virology societies wrote him a letter documenting the damage he was doing with his platform and asked him to stop/get more informed, he would stop. I think he's well intentioned but misinformed and enjoying the limelight.
